House Oversight Chairman James Comer has intensified his focus on two critical issues: potential Democrat money-laundering through ActBlue and bureaucratic roadblocks to Biden family investigations. Comer revealed he is reviewing more than 400 Treasury Department Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) linked to ActBlue’s fundraising activities.
Speaking on Just the News, No Noise, Comer emphasized that federal employees involved in alleged obstruction must face consequences. “Anyone involved in covering up criminal activity needs to lose their jobs,” he stated, pointing to whistleblower reports that highlight interference in investigations into Hunter Biden.
Comer also raised concerns about ActBlue’s financial practices, suggesting that foreign
adversaries may have exploited the platform to channel funds into Democrat campaigns. A recent disclosure revealed that ActBlue only began restricting foreign-purchased gift cards for donations in September 2024, potentially allowing years of questionable transactions.
The investigation’s scope extends to the platform’s alleged lack of security measures, with Bryan Steil (R-WI) highlighting that ActBlue only recently implemented CVV requirements for credit card donations. Comer questioned the plausibility of ActBlue’s donation stream, calling it “almost impossible” for small donations to account for the platform’s funding levels without irregularities.
ActBlue has denied wrongdoing, asserting compliance with all legal requirements. However, Comer’s investigation seeks to uncover whether the platform knowingly ignored suspicious transactions. “This is about ensuring accountability for those who enabled potential financial crimes,” Comer said.
As the probe deepens, the findings could have far-reaching implications for campaign finance practices and the Biden administration’s accountability. Comer has vowed to work with the incoming Trump administration to pursue justice.
